An Yum,s Jewels.

A rather sensational robbery was re-
ported to have occurred in the sacred
precincts Of the Chinese quarter yester-
day afternoon. Miss Ah Yum, one of
the beauties of the quarter, was sitting,
arrayed in her gaudiest toggery, await
ing the coming of the next guest. This
proved to be All Quong, a stalwart Ce-
lestial of the "highbinder" type. He
was all smiles, and did his best to make
himself agreeable. An hour was spent
in pleasant converse. when in momen
the scene changed. The genial All
Quong rose, and producing a big, rusty
pistol, demanded the lady's valuables.
She was too frightened to speak, but her
woman's wit finally asserted itself, and
she screamed. This did not suit All
Quong, so he belabored her over the head
with the butt end of his pistol until she
sank to the floor ipsensible. He then
rifed her pockets of what money. there
was, variously estimated from $50 to
$3.50, tore pair of valuable diamond
earrings from her ears, and laid violent
hands on whatever other objects of
adornment there were in sight, and de-
camped. The senseless woman was
soon afterwards discovered, and when she
revived told her story of All Quong's
baseness. Detectives were put on the
track ofAh Quong, but up to late hour
last night failed to obtain clue to his
whereabouts.

bring the silver up to the standard re-
quirements. A charge of twenty-five

be charged for each 100 ounces. The
Mercantile Safe Deposit Company will

ing is CLEANED: General Washington
possesses 10000 acres of land in
one body, where he lives; constantly
employs 240 hands; keeps 25 ploughs

AMERICAN MEDICAL CONVEN-
TION.
Learned Opinions of Climatic
Effect on Disease.

CHICAGO, June SIN to-day's session
of the American Medical Association the
report of the committee on changes in
the plan of organization and bylaws was
adopted. All the changes have for their
object the better adjustment of the prin-
ciples of the Operation.
DIR. j. w. Robertson's paper on "The
Climatology and Hydrology of Northern
California" called forth q protracted dis
cussion on the question Of the influence
of certain climates on consumptive cases.
DIR. Allen, of Missouri. thought that
a dry climate like California was unfa-
vorable to the growth of bacteria, and
was therefore the best in the world for
consumptives.
DIR. A. M. Bell, of New York, was
of the opinion that dry climate was
healthy, and that as for consumptives,
the best place in the world was some
lone island in the sea. He opposed the
common idea that benefit is to be de-
rived from coast breezes, holding that
the decomposition of the seawashed
matter was peculiarly unhealthy.

A Lost Trunk.

About three weeks ago Hamilton
Young came here from New Orleans and
his wife followed him last week, and
when she arrived on Saturday last the
check for her trunk was given to one of
Glover's expressmen, who took the
trunk to the Santa Fe depot at the foot
of First street. Mr.. Young wanted the
trunk sent to Monrovia and desired to
check it to that place but some one told
him it was not necessary. When he
arrived at Monrovia he found that the
trunk had not been sent there and he
requested friend to look it up. The
friend identified the trunk at the depot
but the officials refused to let him have
it and when Mr.. Young called for it
yesterday he found that it had been de.
livered to some one else. The tpnk
contained about Sl75 worth of clothing
and was addressed to Mrs. E. Young,
1876 S. Spring street. The matter was
reported to the Police.

SHarbOr Lights.1

Next week the stage of the Opera
House will be devoted to the melodrama
Harbor Lights, which has been drawing
so successfully for many nights in the
East and at San Francisco. II is said
that this play, as presented by Osborne
& Stockwell, is the best of its kind on
the stage, and the scenic effects, together
with the dialogue, combine to make it a
performance which no one will willingly
miss. The company, which is on the
way here, is very strong, and among the
artists is Sam Keene, who is so we'll and
favorably known, not only in this city,
but on this coast. The manager, Mark
Thall, is in the city making arrange
ments, and the sale of seats will com
mence tomorrow morning at the Opera
House,

Council of Indian Tribes.

EUFAuLA, Ind. Ty., June S.-A large
number of delegates from wild and civil
lied tribes of Indians are attending a
council now in session here. Hon. S.
F. Burge, President of the council, made
the opening address, advising all of
them to adopt civilization and urging
the wild tribes to establish schools and
churches. Ossge Chief Hikay Pahanah
urged especially the Prairie Indians to
accept education, as il was their only
hope of salvation. Mahkosita, of the
Sac and Fox tribes, White Wolf of the
Comanehes, and Towcomie Jim of the
Wichitas, referred to the recent land
law and said it did not suit their tribes.
The subject will be very thoroughly dis
cussed tomorrow.

UNDER THE GRAPE LAW.
Disposition TO Carefully Inspect
It's Features.

SAN Francisco, June S.-The Direc--
tors of the Grape Growers and Wine
Makers Association took up the propo-
sition of the local wine merchants, max.
ing it imperative on producers to furn.
ish an analysis of every cask of wine
sold. j. B. J. Portal declared that what
the middlemen have done could only be
construed as an attempt to throttle the
law. M. M. Estee said: "Dealers can
not get along without us, and If they
don't want to take our wine we can dis.
pose of it in other channels. As to the
statement that they are going to require
MS to let our casks lay on the wharves
tor several days while analysis is made,
it is not to their interest to do so, and
we should not be frightened by such
threats. If they can do it, why then we
can stand it," C. G. Pride, dealer,
said: "All that the merchants desired
was to secure themselves from the penal.
ties when they unwi,tingly sold impure
wine under the LABEL He claimed that
the law did not afford them ample pro-
lection. A Committee of Conference
was finally appointed to confer with
dealers and report the result on the 2lst
instant.

Association of steamers.

SAN Francisco, June SIN converse.
tion j. d. Spreckles said the plan for
associatipg an oceanic line Of steamers
with the San Diego trade was yet in
embryo. If the steamers were to 60 to
San Diego. the speed of trains to San
Francisco would have to be greatly &C.
celebrated, and so far no arrangements
had been made with the Santa Fe. At
any rate no change could be made until
the present contract with the Australin
government was out, which would not
occur until November next. 1--WE
wish," said Spreckles, ''to shorten the
train time across the continent, believ-
ing if any reduction is to be made it will
be in this way. Before negotiating with
the Santa Fe people we intend to see
what the railroad people here can do.
In all probability they will consent to
make better time, in which case things
will remain as at present"

A sCATTERED TRAIL.
Troops Pursuing Apaches I'm
southeastern Arizona.

Tucson, A. T., June Sword was
received here this morning of the kill
ing of Mike Grace and the narrow
escape of Billy Williams and Billy Lee,
from two Apaches at Temporal Gulch,
eighty.five miles south of Crittenden.
There is no doubt but that the Indians
have separated in two or more parties,
one of which has already escaped into
Mexico. Their signal-fires were seen in
the Santa Rita Mountains on Mouday
night.
Captain Smith, from Fort Lowell,
reports by courier o.day that he can find
no trace of any hostiles near Mountain
Springs, which would prove that they
have passed bis Troop and that they are
between Lieut.. Johnson and Capt. Law
ton, but will probably reach the Sonora
line in time to escape. They have made
about seventy miles day since killing
Delhi in the Santa Catalinas. Lieut..
Johnson has orders to pursue them even
into Mexico. The hostiles must have
crossed the railroad near Pantano. A
troop of picked men. left Fort Apache
last evening to try and head off a band
of Indians seen on the Santa Ritas, on
Monday evening. From present appear
anoes all hopes of a peaceable return OF
the renegades has been abandoned, and
their determination is the order of the
day. Mike Grace, who was killed this
is brother of ex.Mayor Grace
Of New York.

An old San BerDardino farmer says
that gypsum or plaster of Paris, applied
at the rate of four or five tons to the
acre, will neutralize the alkali, so preva.
lent in many localities, and at once rem
der it capable of producing any kind of
crop. II this be so, and the reported
find of gypsum in vast quantities on the
Palos Verdes IL confirmed, the result
will be of vast importance to the farmers
of this county. One of the shrewdest
real estate operators in this State is said
to be contemplating the purchase of all
the so.called bad alkali lands he can get
hold Of. II is an established fact that
the alkali lands, once reclaimed, pro-
duce far better crops than those which
have none.
